I have multiple Weller soldering irons and they are reliable, dependable and never let me down ... Until now that is. This battery operated device does not work very well at all. There is a small window of solder melting opportunity just as it gets up to temperature but seconds later that has faded away. The instructions advise "only press the button when soldering" but the button cannot be pressed! It only slides.

The positives ... It gets up to operating temperature in just 20 seconds ... It is chunky but not uncomfortable to hold ... The operating light is a pleasant shade of green ... That's about it really.

If you really do want one of these, find it on the Home Depot website by searching for this unique reference number, 317651818.
